HTC Vive Deals & Offers

I went for https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224256735883?hash=item3436be3a8b:g:Vl8AAOSwJ7xhqMC7 as recommended by MoobearHD (select the moulded plastic option). Arrived in a couple of days and is now fitted to my Quest 2 with the DAS.

Ebay / amazon

Where’d I’d everyone get the adapter for this? Searching online they seem to take weeks to arrive.

I'm sure the M2/Pro is great for many people. Just didn't like my head very much! Having PSVR which worked great for me I expected that a halo strap would be ideal but the DAS feels like it's hugging my head rather than just plonked over it. Obviously not having the battery pack of the M2 Pro is a downside. I rarely play long enough to drain the battery empty anyway.

thanks for this, I was thinking of getting the m2 as loads of youtube reviews have said it's their favourite but they also said that about the cheap halo strap I bought and have never liked very much. The DAS just looks like a premium product and it will be nice to have the headphones built in.

Thanks for posting and congratulations on your first hotukdeals thread (y)

Is return/repair still via Romania? If so, consider this before buying. Usually at buyers cost.

Keep your eye on amazon warehouse. Seen them open box for a really good discount especially at the same time as a 30% off warehouse items promo.

Got all excited thinking it was for the Vive Pro 2, guessing they're shifting the Vive Pro cheap to discontinue them. Heat added though as it's a good discount on these. (y)

They really should bundle these with Index controllers.

Quest 2 all week and twice on Sundays. Use your gaming pc via airlink or virtual desktop....use sidequest tools to up the resolution and BOOM....best headset.

Pop me a message if you're interested in selling :)

Agree, although i have a HP Reverb G2...which ive never used, i did have a Q2, excellent bit of kit, especially now there is no facebook leech. I would wait though if your in the market to spend big on VR, there's a whole new breed of VR on the horizon

I drive a Honda Civic. Way better than that hideous M5. At least the indicators work on the Honda unlike the BMW or is that all BMW’s?

Subjectively the Vive Pro 2 is definitely not high end. XTAL 8K and Pimax Vision 8K Plus are high end. Personally looking forward to Pimax 12K https://www.pcgamer.com/amp/pimax-reality-12k-qled-vr-headset-announcement-discounts/ which will have the portability of the Quest 2.

Yes, the Rift S was far more comfortable than the quest (and will be better than the Quest 2.... even with the elite band I guess). I didn’t find much difference between the Rift S and the Quest Link in performance though. The screen door was better handled on the rift. Quest 2 sounds like it has largely resolved screen door though.

Cool. Got VD just before I sold my quest so I only had a quick go at wireless. My 5Ghz wasn’t perfect (but it is located away from my actual router via a home plug), but I didn’t get a chance to look at improving it. Quest 2 arriving today !! Will try it out again.

Argh excellent news. Enjoy.

Yeah the rift was definitely better at being a rift. We'll see later on how good this quest 2 is... Hopefully today if yodel let me collect it

True. Though..speaking from experience not trying to be a ck, I have the quest and rift s. The quest just isn’t as comfortable and doesn’t perform as well as the rift s. Hopefully the quest 2 will Be improved. (y) 🏻

I have a vive with index controllers so this would be quite tempting, a quest seems good value if you don't have anything but certainly less interesting for me with the loss of finger tracking, worse controller tracking in general, bad audio and higher latency, along with facebook nonsense to deal with, so I'd be quite happy to get the pro for cheap

Vive Pro is much better, but the complete kit is also much more expensive.

Definitely order yourself an oculus quest 2 instead of this.

Gutted missed out there, that would have been a good upgrade from my original Vive

Warning... This requires external sensors which are not included for this price. "PLEASE NOTE: This version of the VIVE Pro is a headset only package and is intended as an upgrade for existing VIVE owners." Still a good deal but not an inside out tracked device so there could be more expense on top.

Definitely give Elite another go, I never even thought about trying it at sale price until I got VR and then it is pretty awesome seeing the size of the ships! Other than that depends on your game preference, Arizona Sunshine for zombie shooting or the new Walking Dead Saints and Sinners, Onward or Pavlov for VR FPS, Echo VR (with Revive if you don't have Oculus) for Zero G fun and some random free "experiences" to kill some time.

Going to give it a try. Is there any other must have vr games people would recommend. Got Moss, superhot, pirate training, gorn, rest of that humble bundle, no man sky, need to try elite dangerous again, bridge crew.

After over 2 years of having VR I am just getting over VR sickness, might try this to see how far I have come :D

This made me feel so sick

I finished it. Didn't love it though. Was hoping for space-Firewatch but it was only ok
